About this course
Artificial intelligence is the fascinating practice of creating computers and machines that can simulate intelligence, such as decision-making, visual perception, and speech recognition. A Nottingham, you have the unique opportunity to integrate a paid year in industry into your studies, gaining unrivalled practical experience in an industry which lies at the forefront of scientific endeavour. You will be studying at one of the few institutions that have designed the curriculum recommended by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE).
Modules
In your first year you will study: Programming and Algorithms; Computer Fundamentals; Systems and Architecture; Mathematics for Computer Scientists; Database and Interfaces; Software Engineering; Programming Paradigms; and Fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence. In your second year you will study: Software Engineering Group Project; Algorithm Correctness and Efficiency; Topics in Computer Science; Operating Systems Distributed/Parallel; Languages and Representations; Human Computer Interaction; Software Quality; and Artificial Intelligence Methods. In your third year you will undertake a year in industry. In your fourth and final year you will write an individual dissertation and take modules in Professional Ethics; Computer Security; and Software Specification.
